Weird Al Yankovic Releases Free MP3
I’ve died and gone to heaven. Over there on WeirdAl.com, they’ve posted a free MP3 download (192kbps). According to the filename, the new song is titled “You’re Pitiful.” No word on whether this track will be on his upcoming album, but we diehard Weird Al fans will love it no matter what! Their server seems to be getting slammed right now – so be patient. It’s a parody of the famous James Blunt song (You’re Beautiful). Here are the lyrics, after giving it a few good listens. Amazing, Al – amazing. Thanks for doing this!!!
My life is brilliant
[What, was I too early -
Oh, sorry, should I -
Do you want to start over, or -
Keep going - okay... now, now?]My life is brilliant
Your life’s a joke
You’re just pathetic
You’re always broke
Your homemade Star Trek uniform
Really ain’t impressin’ me
You’re sufferin’ from delusions of adequacyYou’re pitiful
You’re pitiful
You’re pitiful, it’s trueNever had a date
That you couldn’t inflate
And you smell repulsive, too
What a bummer bein’ youWell you just can’t dance
And forget romance
Everybody you know still calls ya
Farty pants
But you’ll always have a job
Well, I mean…
As long as you still can work that Slurpie machineYou’re pitiful
You’re pitiful
You’re pitiful, it’s trueYou’re half undressed
Eating chips off your chest
While you’re playin’ Halo 2
No one’s classier than youLa-la-la-la
La-la-la-la
La-la-la-la loserYou’re pitiful
You’re pitiful
You’re pitiful, it’s trueYour dog would much rather
Play fetch by itself
You still live with your mom and you’re 42
Guess you’ll never grow a clueWell, it just sucks to be you
I’ve been a Weird Al Yankovic fan since the seventh grade. He even came on the Helpathon I did a few years ago – just to say “hello.” Releasing this track on the ‘Net before the album’s official release is really, really cool. I wonder what other parodies he has up his sleeve? His originals have been equally amazing in recent albums, too. Hat tip to Happy for the heads-up!

Via Chris Pirillo, I ran across the lyrics to “You’re Pitiful”, a send up of “You’re Beautiful”. It was hilarious just reading the lyrics in time with the actual song – when I get off this plane, I’ll have to grab the free mp3 from

time that morning. I have to admit I looked at the real lyrics and now that I know what he’s really singing it’s not as bad as I originally thought, but no matter… Still, I have to think, “great minds”, right :) :) Weird Al’s Lyrics here:Weird Al releases new MP3 My lyrics: “I’m Pitiful” I am a moron.

Now I found out he gives out a new song for free, you can download it from his official homepage (scroll down a bit). It’s a parody on “You’re beautiful� from James Blunt. The lyrics of the parody can be foundhere.

Man, I have been a fan of his since I was in the ninth grade. Well, I mean I knew of him and his music before that, but I wasn’t a real fan until I was stuck at home with a dislocated knee cap, I guess my parents figured I needed something to laugh about because I was barely mobile and going stir crazy. That’s awesome about the MP3, I am anxious to see…errr hear, what’s next.

Hi, Chris Pirillo! I remember your old show! I also remember how loopy you were when Al called in. Anyway, only one correction on your lyrics: there are only three “you’re pitifuls� in a row at any given time. The rest is good. I absolutely love the song!

[...] Uber-geek parody king Weird Al Yankovic has just released a free mp3 download on his website. This freebie is a little track entitled You’re Pitiful and is based on the James Blunt song ,You’re Beautiful.I had a bit of a scare on this one as one local paper is quoted as saying the new offering is, "a song about a 42-year-old video game enthusiast."Now I’m not 42, but that particular slap in the face ain’t too far away. I was happy to find this site that posted the lyrics and found that the song is about a guy who lives with his parents, sports a Star Trek costume, has issues with women, and mans the Slurpie machine for a living. He just happens to play Halo too.Whew! I dodged all those bullets. If you weren’t so lucky you best head over to Weird Al’s site and snag your theme song. [link] [lyrics] [...]
